Trackpad with Surface Book cannot navigate 3D View
It's normal because the default controls for navigating around Blender's viewport all rely on clicking on the scroll wheel of a mouse. No laptops that I know of have a similar input that blender will use by default. You will have to set up the input to how you want to control the viewport. There is an option to 'Emulate 3 Button Mouse' in the User preferences in the input tab that may be what you are looking for.
